A brief description of on-site renewable electricity generating devices :
We have a 271 KW Solar Array installed in 2009 on the roof of Gosman Athletic Center. However, since it is a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) model, where a company owns the panels, the Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) are being sold. We can not claim any of the renewable energy or environmental attributes for Brandeis, however, our decision to install this system has contributed to many additional economic and environmental benefits.
